Play

We spent the night at the border between Israel and Egypt at a Kibbutz -- they even threw a barbecue for us and a pool party (yes, our hamburgers and hot dogs were in pitas). That day we went out to sand dunes by the Kibbutz and, after lots of playing, had the chance to each find a spot where we couldn't see anyone else. Once we found our secluded spots we were able to sit alone for the first time in a long time, and reflect on the importance of deserts in the scriptures. I hadn't realized how little time I spend alone these days until that moment, and it was extremely refreshing. So was playing :)
